Definitely not Yabb, a poster called Cheatpark can hack into it very easy if I am not mistaken.
Which one of those you think is better?

OpenBB by far...unless you want to use wBB1 or PHPBB2.
You've read the post wrong. I can hack yabb (the perl version) but I can't hack yabbse because it uses a mysql database. By the way I think yabbse is better than openbb.Originally posted by Giancarlo

I would go with PHPBB... but just decided to go with Phorum.
Don't go for the easy option. He asked the best out of yabbse and openbb. However, you are right that phpbb is better than all of them but there are ones which will soon be better than phpbb. Also in a few hours rc4 of phpbb will be released so it might be easier to install.Originally posted by Giancarlo

Openbb looks better, and is better then YABB!

actually openbb looks like they just bought vbulletin code and just edited it a little. yabbSE made the whole code themselves which is better! YabbSE just looks more pro and more better than openbb since first openbb looked like vbulletin then now they changed it to UBB! Just stealing themes. LOL
But. . . . . Yabb SE looks so ugly..
Obviously you haven't looked at the code. What the themes look like is absoulutely meaningless. Why should it matter? Anyone who cares at all about their forum is going to do a full redesign to customize their forum to fit into their site correctly anyway.Originally posted by Californium

OpenBB is the fastest forum, seems to beat vB according to tests. phpBB is likely the best overall free forum at least for now. YABB, even if it's a PHP/SQL version, is still just yet another bulletin board... nothing special about it.

If you set the "Members" Directory, which YABB creates, to not viewable, then the users won't be able to view the members' passwords and stuff.Originally posted by cheatpark

But its still crap even if you do that. If your host allows people to view directories then it can still be hacked although not many hosts allow it now. However its still crap because the text files are slower than mysql.Originally posted by Dumbbell69
